The Bible Study Reading PlanSample

As you know from the introduction, I hit a point in my life where I was fed up with Christians around me. In reality, I was fed up with my hypocritical self.

I grew up in the church.

I spent a ton of time at Christian camps, even working at one for the summer.

I went to a Christian University.

I wrote Christian books.

But when it all came down to it I didn't really know what I believed. Yeah, I knew the basics but that was it.

One night I was sitting in my basement, contemplating life and whether or not I could consider myself a Christian still. I thought about every other religion and how serious they take it. Jewish boys in Israel are required to have the entire Torah memorized by the time they are TWELVE. And what do we do? Take some confirmation classes for a season and we're good?

I couldn't have told you what 90% of the books in the Bible are about at that point. Yet I claimed to believe it with all of my heart. How ridiculous is that?!

So that's when I departed on my journey to Australia to spend 70 hours/week in the Bible for 9 months. Studying. Praying. Crying. Worshiping. Falling in love in a way that I didn't know was possible. The foundation that I built was as solid as concrete. There is nothing that can shake me now. I'm in too deep.

As we saw in Timothy and Titus, having a strong foundation is the most important thing we can do as false teaching continues to infiltrate the church.

What is your plan for building a stronger foundation?
